Before you start exercising

Although the Samsung Health application is a great companion to your exercise

routine, it is always best to make sure you consult with your physician before

beginning any exercise regimen. While moderate physical activity, such as brisk

walking, is safe for most people, health experts suggest that you talk with your doctor

before you start an exercise program, particularly if you have any of the following

conditions:

• Heart disease; Asthma or lung disease; Diabetes, or liver or kidney disease; and

Arthritis.



Apps

115

Before beginning your exercise regimen check with your doctor if you have symptoms

suggestive of heart, lung, or other serious disease, such as:

• Pain or discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or arms during physical activity;

• Dizziness or loss of consciousness;

• Shortness of breath with mild exertion or at rest, or when lying down or going

to bed;

• Ankle swelling, especially at night;

• A heart murmur or a rapid or pronounced heartbeat;

• Muscle pain when walking upstairs or up a hill that goes away when you rest.

It is recommended that before engaging in an exercise routine, you consult with your

doctor or medical practitioner. If you are unsure of your health status, have several

health problems, or are pregnant, you should speak with your doctor before starting a

new exercise program.

Maintaining water and dust resistance

CAUTION To avoid electric shock and damage to your device, do not charge

device while it is wet or in an area where it could get wet. Do not handle device,

charger or cords with wet hands while charging.

The device is not impervious to dust and water damage in any situation. It is important

that all compartments are closed tightly.

Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device and maintain dust and

water resistance performance:

lWater resistant based on IP68 rating, which tests submersion in fresh water deeper

than 1.5 meters or keep it submerged for more than 30 minutes. If device is exposed

to fresh water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth; if exposed to liquid other

than fresh water, rinse with fresh water and dry as directed.

lAny device which uses accessible compartments or ports that can be opened should

have these sealed or closed tightly to prevent liquid from entering the system.

lIf the device has been immersed in water or the microphone or speaker is wet,

sound may not be heard clearly during a call. After wiping the device with a dry

cloth, dry it thoroughly before using it.

lDo not expose the device to water at high pressure.

lIf the device is dropped or receives an impact, the water and dust resistant features

of the device may be damaged.

NOTE Liquid other than fresh water may enter the device faster. Failure to rinse

the device in fresh water and dry it as instructed may cause the device to suffer

from operability or cosmetic issues.

Restricting children’s access to your

mobile device

Your mobile device is not a toy. Do not allow children under the age of 3 to play with

it because they could hurt themselves or others or damage the device. If parents

choose to allow children 3 or older to use the device, they should make sure that

there is adequate supervision to guard against injury or damage and use of services

that may increase data costs or other charges.

Parental control settings should be enabled to ensure that children do not have

access to services or content not approved by the parent. Routinely check this device

to ensure it is working properly and is safe for children to use.
